During the third quarter of 2013, management approved pension plan design changes to certain of our defined benefit plans that will eliminate future benefit accruals for plan participants as of December 31, 2013. As a result, we remeasured the projected benefit obligations and plan assets for certain plans. The remeasurement resulted in a decrease to ITT's net pension liability of $4.4 and a curtailment loss of $0.7.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we made contributions to our global pension plans of $0.8 and $1.0, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we made contributions to our global pension plans of $2.5 and $35.3, respectively. We do not expect to make material contributions to our global pension plans during the remainder of 2013.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we amortized $(0.4) and $2.8, net of tax, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings related to prior service cost and net actuarial loss. Similarly, during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we amortized $6.5 and $8.4, net of tax, into earnings, respectively. No other reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings were recognized during any of the presented periods.
